Arizona lease improvement bonds.
From $100.
When a commercial landlord requires a tenant to guarantee a build-out as a condition of the lease, a tenant improvements performance bond is the surety form of that promise. It’s a private, contractual requirement — not a state mandate. We price it at 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the tenant-improvements bond actually does
Commercial landlords often finance or rely on tenant improvements — the build-out that makes a leased space usable for the tenant’s business. When the landlord wants assurance the work gets done as agreed, it can require the tenant to post a performance bond as a condition of the lease.
This is a private, contractual bond — there is no Arizona statute that mandates it. The terms come from your lease: the obligation it guarantees, the amount, and the conditions for a claim. The bond protects the landlord against the tenant’s failure to complete the improvements, up to the bond amount.
The amount is whatever your lease names — typically tied to the cost of the improvements. We issue it from $100 with one soft credit pull that never affects your score. Because a performance bond guarantees completion of work, underwriting reviews the obligation and your qualification, and your exact price appears at the application. If the surety pays the landlord, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
